Directions of Use

For use on dogs and cats, puppies and kittens from 8 weeks of age. Adjust the pump nozzle to the spray setting. Apply Frontline Spray until the hair is damp to thoroughly wet. Approximately 1 to 2 pumps per pound of the animal's body weight will be required. Use higher rates for long haired or densely coated animals to ensure the coat is thoroughly wet. Spray the entire body of the animal and apply from a distance of approximately 6 to 8 inches. Apply against the lay of the hair, and make sure that the entire coat of the animal is thoroughly wet with Frontline Spray. Ruffle the coat as the spray is applied, especially in long haired or densely coated animals, so that the product penetrates down to the skin. For head and eye area, spray Frontline Spray on a gloved hand and rub gently into the animal's hair. Allow to dry naturally. Do not towel dry.
